Often, when I'm grocery shopping, I stop to look at some product, something not completely a 'given' like toilet paper or dishwashing liquid is.

So, as I'm looking over the tiny handheld brushes used to comb the hair of any rats I may be keeping as pets, all of a sudden four other people are in great need of tiny handheld brushes to comb the hair of any rats they are keeping as pets.

It's a metaphor, really.

The way Dwellars shit on religion every chance they get, and yet, when I say something about a certain religion you fuckers line up to tell me how fucked up I am, and how 'phobic' I am.

It fucking makes me sick. You folks absolutely disgust me sometimes.

Gravdigr · 08-06-2013, 04:54 PM

I didn't say that the way I wanted to. I mean, I meant what I said, I just didn't express myself well.

Apologies if I twisted anyone's nipples too hard, there. Came off harsher than intended.

It's hot today, in the high eighties. I know lots of you don't think that's very hot, but it's uncomfortable in the house. I have a couple fans, they're doing their best. What's irritating to me today is in an effort to cool myself from the inside out, I went to the freezer to get some ice. I found a tray of ice cubes, sitting on an empty tray.

??

You took two ice trays out, emptied one, put the full one on top of the empty one and put the stack back in the freezer? Why?

Aliantha · 08-06-2013, 05:21 PM

V, i'm with you there. It shits me when people are so lazy. Happens around here a lot. :/

Gravdigr · 08-06-2013, 05:28 PM

Remember 'eggies'? Spose to cook/hard boil your eggs in the microwave. Well, I use them for ice thingies, they ain't cubes, ya see. Fill 'em w/water, freeze 'em, and you get great big ice 'cubes'. Run a little water over them and they'll pop right out. Bigger ice lasts longer.

BigV · 08-06-2013, 06:03 PM

Tha's a good point, Gravdigr.

I use a similar strategy by taking my water bottle (Nalgene, 1 liter) and filling it partly, say, 2/3. Then I put that in the freezer, lying on it's side so I can have room to get the water in and room to swirl it about when I fill after it's frozen. Now that I think of it, I should have two of these in rotation.

One of the technical writers I regularly have to work with obviously learned English as a second language. It's bad enough that the dude is getting paid to write poorly, and I am left cleaning up his grammar on the fly as I try to record his scripts... but today, the dumbass sent me a "bug" that I didn't record one screwed-up bit exactly as written, with our boss and several coworkers CC'ed. I had to concoct a very diplomatically-worded email explaining why I assumed it was a "typing error" on the grounds that it didn't match previous scripts I have done for this client, rather than the grounds that that's not how English is spoken, you idiot.

Don't have a fing for Mum's birfday

I bought fings, but none have arrived yet.

I do have until 3 September. I'm just being impatient.
And I have the card, wrapping paper, ribbons etc.
Just hate paying for things and having to wait.

ETA - today's post has just arrived.
Nothing for Mum.
A replacement came for Diz's bed (it's about five years old now and he's barfed and weed in it and it's been washed & dried plenty of times.)
I bought a mini-snuggle sack from eBay. No sizes given, but as it was in the Cat Supplies section I assumed it was only "mini" in that it was for a kitten/ small cat as opposed to a Maine Coon or a dog.

No.

It is in the Cat Supplies section because it is a handy way for cats to store the mice they bring in.
It's hamster size. Even the packaging (not shown on eBay) shows a hamster living it up inside.
So that has to go back. Grrr. Cross.

For some reason I seem to have Grumpy Wednesdays.
Might be because it's the fourth day in a row of setting up the counter. And the third day I get up at 05.00.

Sundae · 08-30-2013, 06:21 AM

I've bin bit.

I'm not having an allergic reaction, small itchy lump.
But when I say itchy I mean SWEET FSM IT ITCHES ALL THE TIME.
Ant bite maybe, as it's actually two or three in a small cluster.

Summer. Hey.

glatt · 08-30-2013, 07:30 AM

Ant bites are just about the worst.

Sundae · 08-31-2013, 05:35 AM

Not irritating (although those bloody ant bites...!) just an update.
Got everything I ordered for Mum except a DVD.

I start wrapping tomorrow.
I'd make a lame joke like "Watch out Slim Shandy" but I'd show myself up.

infinite monkey · 09-12-2013, 10:57 AM

Lyrics websites. One site gets the lyrics wrong (where it originates, I do not know) and the 14 billion other lyrics sites copy the same error. And don't dare try to cut and paste a smidgeon of lyric...IT IS VERBOTEN.

Bah, I miss the older, purer interwebz. Interwebz grew to mostly suck eggs. It's all ads and mistakes that perpetuate themselves.

OH, wesnet, why did you desert me?
You were slow, but I didn't know.

(Lyrics I wrote for someone to misquote and fuck up later.)
